This page describes the additional software and infrastructure you'll need to run Confluence. Please review this info before installing Confluence. The information on this page applies to Confluence 6.11.

You should only use Confluence with a supported platform. Any platforms and versions not listed on this page are unsupported, which means we don't test, fix bugs or provide assistance.

You don't need to install Java if you plan to use the installer to install Confluence, as the JRE is bundled with Confluence.

Infrastructure

Hardware:

You can't run Confluence on SPARC based hardware. You'll need to use x86 hardware or 64bit derivatives of x86 hardware.

You can't use an NFS mount for your installation or home directory due to Lucene requirements. If you're installing Confluence Data Center, an NFS mount is fine for the shared home directory, but not for the local home directories.

Virtualization:

Our support team can assist you with problems running Confluence in a Docker container, but can't offer support for problems related to the environment itself.

Our support team can assist you with deploying Confluence Data Center in AWS using the Cloud Formation Template or Quick Start. We won't be able to assist you if you have customised the Cloud Formation Template.

Application server:

We only support the Tomcat version that is bundled with your Confluence version. You can't run Confluence in your own application server.
